Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think you missed my hand up on that detail of work performed on behalf of others. Could I get some explanation on the $65,000 as it has got to do with the Nunavut election? Is this after the fact? Could we have some clarification? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Since we have the person sitting next me who is in charge of elections, I will allow Mr. Hamilton to answer that question.

Clerk Of The House Mr. David Hamilton
Mr. Chairman, yes, Members will note that there are two amounts. One was $649,000. That was for 1998-1999 which was the agreement between the Government of Canada and the Legislative Assembly to conduct the first election for Nunavut. The $65,000 remaining for this fiscal year is to cover off the official report that is required to be made to the Nunavut Legislative Assembly on the conduct of its election and also covers the cost of potential investigations and prosecutions under the Elections Act for infractions under the act. That is what the $65,000 is to cover in this fiscal year, Mr. Chairman.

Clerk Of The House Mr. David Hamilton
This item in the budget is under Vote 4 and 5 which is a contribution from the Government of Canada, so the total amount of $714,000 that covers the first election, this is why it is under work performed on behalf of others. It is an agreement. This money is coming from Canada.

I want to thank Mr. Krutko and his witnesses for appearing before us today. Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Per the previous agreement, we will deal next with the Department of Health and Social Services, and I will call on the Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Roland, to see if he has opening comments.
